About the Bloomin' 5K and 1 Mile Walk
The course runs on roads through Clifton and ends with a downhill stretch to the finish, which gives the last section a different feel than most flat road races. The walk loops around Main Memorial Pond, so walkers get a contained, scenic route while runners are out on the streets. A DJ, food, and kids' activities fill the post-race area.
The race is held at Main Memorial Park, accessible via a major highway nearby, with off-street parking available. Packet pickup runs the evening before at a local nonprofit shelter on Clifton Avenue, with race-morning pickup opening well before the start. The course closes right as the gun goes off, so arriving early gives you time to settle in.

The Bloomin' 5K and 1 Mile Walk has been held every year since at least 2019. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
